Is there a way to have evolution interpret the sig as HTML?


        Hi,
I'm quoting the original mail first:

On Fri, 2021-03-19 at 08:25 -0700, Jonathan Ryshpan wrote:

   echo "<div>-- </div>" 
   echo "<p>Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh pacbell net</p>" 
   echo "<pre>" 
   /home/jonrysh/bin/myFortune 
   echo "</pre>"


Couple notes:
a) do not add the "<div>-- </div>", because 1) it's a wrong signature
delimiter; b) the signature delimiter is added by Evolution itself
(unless you've turned it off). Using a wrong signature delimiter causes
confusion why it's not removed on reply;

b) do not use <p></p>, use <div></div> instead; the composer
understands <p>, but uses <div> internally;

c) your email address does not end with '>'; as you pretend HTML, it
should be: 
   "<div>Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan &lt;jonrysh pacbell net&gt;</div>"
but if you want to make the address clickable, then the right form is:
   "<div>Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan &lt;<a
href="mailto:jonrysh pacbell net">jonrysh pacbell net</a>&gt;</div>"


 typical output shows up in the preview box, e.g.:
<div>-- </div>


If you see in the signature preview HTML tags, then the code thinks
it's a Plain Text signature, not HTML signature. That needs changing.
Try to enclose the whole content into <html><body> ... </body></html>.
The MIME type is guessed from the file content, unless you set it on
the signature object beforehand. The script signature doesn't let to
set it.


When I open a composer window to create a new email, nothing unusual
happens: no messages from evolution, etc.; no signature appears
before I start editing.


When you look at the top of the composer window there's a From: line,
beside which is a Signature: combo. That's the place where you can
change the signature before sending/when composing the message.
        Bye,
        Milan
